25 Weeks


How far along: 25 Weeks!

Baby size: 9 inches long, 1.7 lbs (about the size of an eggplant)
Weight gain: I'm not sure, hopefully I am on track. 
Maternity clothes: Absolutely, and lots of tee shirts. I try to stay comfy during the week. I wear my maternity jeans pretty much every day now. 
Stretch marks: No but I am putting on lots of lotion and I think it helps me at least feel better.
Sleep: It's been pretty good this past week. We usually turn out the lights around ten and I wake up about 6:45 to have breakfast with Daniel. Then I head back to bed around 7:30 and wake up at 9. That's kind of been the schedule this week. I think I will try to go without the early morning nap next week but we will see. 
Gender: A little girl. I am so excited. 
Best moment this week: Feeling like I still have quite a bit of energy and that I am still doing well. The pregnancy has gone by so smoothly up until now and I pray it stays that way.
Looking forward to: Buying the big purchases for the nursery. Really it is just stressing me out and I want it to be done :)
What I miss: Not being worried about every little thing I am feeling. I worry about the little pains that I have been feeling. I worry if the little girl hasn't kicked in a while. I worry about how hard I am working out at the gym. Too many worries. I just hope and pray everything is okay and that the development is going good.
Movement: Yes yes yes! I love it. It comforts me. She kicks morning noon and night. It is still when I am laying down or sitting still for a while that I notice it. 
Food cravings: S'mores. And really any chocolate treat. We go to the gym and all the greasy hamburgers and hot dogs look delicious on commercials. Also any treats like DQ blizzards are so tempting. Pretty much anything that is not good for you. Although I really crave fruit too, grapes, watermelon, pineapple, strawberries, they all sound so refreshing right now.
Aversions: Not exactly.
Nursery: I found a sunset color pallet I like a lot. It has gray, taupe, cream, and a light pink as well as a blush color. It is really pretty. I just don't exactly know how to create a space with the colors. 
Miscellaneous: One of the best things this summer has been going to the gym with Daniel every Monday-Friday. We spend about an hour. I just walk while he runs, lifts weights, bikes, and walks too. It is really nice cause we can be side by side on the treadmill but he can be going fast and I can just take it easy. It always feels good and it is so nice for me to get out of the house and exert some energy.
